Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : A ∪ B = N Concept: N denote the set of natural numbers which is an infinite set. Let A and B be any two sets A ∪ B = {x: x ∈ A, x ∈ B} A' = {x: x \(\rm ∈ N , x \notin A\)} A ∩ B = {x: x \(\rm ∈ A \;\; and \;\; x ∈ B\)} A proper subset of a set A is a subset of A that is not equal to A
Calculations: Let N denote the set of natural numbers ⇒ N = {1, 2, 3, 4,....} A = {n2 : n ∈ N} ⇒ A = {1, 4, 9, 16, ....} B = {n3 : n ∈ N}. ⇒ B = {1, 8, 27, 64, ....} Consider the statement "A ∪ B = N" ⇒A ∪ B = {1, 4, 8, 9, 16, 27,....} ≠ N Hence, the statement A ∪ B = N is not true.
Consider the statement "The complement of (A ∪ B) is an infinite set" We know that The complement of a set, denoted A', is the set of all elements in the given universal set U that are not in A. ⇒ (A ∪ B)' = U - (A ∪ B) = {2, 3, 5, 6,....} = infinite set ⇒ (A ∪ B)' = Infinite set Hence, the statement "The complement of (A ∪ B) is an infinite set" is true.
Consider, the statement "A ∩ B must be a finite set" A ∩ B = {1} Hence, the statement "A ∩ B must be a finite set" is true.
Consider, the statement "A ∩ B must be a proper subset of {m6 : m ∈ N}" Let S = {m6 : m ∈ N} S = {1, 64, ....} and A ∩ B = {1} A ∩ B must be a proper subset of {m6 : m ∈ N} Hence, the statement "A ∩ B must be a proper subset of {m6 : m ∈ N}" is True. Hence, if N denote the set of natural numbers and A = {n2 : n ∈ N} and B = {n3 : n ∈ N}. then the statement (2), (3) and (4) are correct. |
